Tuesday Morning Linkage: Spread Offense

The spread offense is the new "cool" offense around college football.  In today's linkage there are a few posts that talk about the beginning of the spread offense and what quarterbacks are the most dangerous at running it.

What we've been working on:

Last week on the podcast we were joined by Peter Bean of Burnt Orange Nation.  Peter gave a great overview of the Big 12 South race which could end up looking a lot like last year with Oklahoma State playing the role of spoiler to either Texas or Oklahoma.  This week on the podcast David Jones of the Harrisburg Patriot-News will join us and talk about the Big Ten.

Even though he is on vacation this week, Adam has not stopped his countdown of the Top 50 Non-BCS Players.  His latest two have been wide receivers with Naaman Roosevelt of Buffalo coming in at number 23, and DeAndre Brown at number 22.  Brown is an explosive receiver out of Southern Mississippi which, if healthy, can cause havok in Conference USA.

If you have been following ITB throughout the years, the name Ron Juckett will be a little familar to you.  Ron has come back to help write on the ITB site and in his first article he gives reasons why it is Florida and then everyone else when talking about the race for the BCS Championship.

What we've been reading:
